Al Green - I’m Still In Love With YouCF: This was my favourite record to play when I brought Tina to my apartment in Providence, when we first met. I was courting her and I put on this song because Al Green is so romantic. The white ladies love it, the black ladies love it, the yellow ladies love it. Everybody loves Al Green.

TW: It’s not just his singing voice, it’s that band.

CF: This is the record I would put on to woo Tina, and it worked.

TW: I always went to Chris’s house to listen to music, because he had the best collection. And yes, it worked, over time. It took a few years because at the time, that’s the weird thing, I had a different boyfriend and he had a different girlfriend. But once we got together it did become the soundtrack of our romance.

CF: And then later on, the first Talking Heads hit we ever had in America that cracked the Top 40 was an Al Green song, ‘Take Me To The River’. I remember getting a message indirectly from him, that he thought it was “pretty good for some white kids from the suburbs”.

It's weird, I read that Talking Heads book "Fa fa fa fa fa fa" and thought the guy writing it was blowing the 'Tina's obssession with David Byrne' angle out of proportion but wow, she really doesn't help herself does she?

What's with all the bitter dislike of wealthy people in the comments section on this site? What does income have to do with anything? And it should be pointed out that everyone commenting on this site, from a global and historical perspective, is FUCKING RICH.
